The Xoom, which was, according to Motorola, "designed with the consumer in mind" (well, it helps), boasts a 1GHz processor, a 10.1-inch display and Android 3.0 Honeycomb, and picked up a favourable review from us at this year's CES. However, the tablet raised eyebrows when a launch price of a Croesus-worthy £720 was banded about - a near three hundred quid dearer than Apple's comparatively thrifty iPad.

Bang for your not-insubstantial buck also includes an accelerometer, 5MP camera, 2MP front-facing camera, HDMI out, and full HD playback. And a barometer - which at that price, should almost go without saying.
